Rare catastrophes and evolutionary legacies: human germline gene variants in MLKL and the necroptosis signalling pathway

Abstract: Programmed cell death has long been characterised as a key player in the development of human disease. Necroptosis is a lytic form of programmed cell death that is universally mediated by the effector protein mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), a pseudokinase. MLKL's activating kinase, receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), is itself activated within context specific scaffolds of receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), Z-DNA Binding Protein-1 (ZBP1) or TIR domain-containing adaptor inducing… Show more

“…Consistent with this notion, more than 20 unique disease-associated human germline gene variants in the core necroptotic machinery, encompassing RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL, have been identified (Garnish and Hildebrand, 2022;Zhang et al, 2021). In one family, a haplotype including a rare MLKL loss-of-function gene variant (p.Asp369GlufsTer22, rs561839347) is associated with a severe and progressive novel neurogenerative spectrum disorder characterized by global brain atrophy (Faergeman et al, 2020).…”

“…While these cases are rare, they hold the potential to provide valuable insights into the role of MLKL in disease etiology. They may contribute to a more focused and refined study of the trait- and disease-modifying potential of MLKL protein-coding variants carried by over 10% of the global population (Garnish and Hildebrand, 2022 ), leading to the identification of new clinical indications and contraindications for drugs targeting necroptosis and its upstream regulators. Such investigations will shed further light on whether the absence of MLKL alone is sufficient to affect metabolic disease or if other genetic or environmental factors are also involved in disease development.…”
